Flat-bar touring 29er........?

Want to go on that dirt tour but don't want to do it on a big heavy boost MTB ? Maybe the gravel bike doesn't take a big enough tire and has drop bars that you might not really need ? Well, here's the solution.
Pretty much a gravel bike tube set but with more tire room and 29er geometry. This should be nice and stable in the dirt loaded up. The frame will be paired with an Enve adventure fork and will have tires in the 43 mm - 2.1 " range. The frame is steel and weighs in at 4 lb. 2 oz. 
I have not built many of these yet but I think that this style of bike is becoming a 'thing' right now. Just how much of a 'thing' has not been established yet.....
